BentOn's Hair Grower.

All who are BALD, who are becoming
BALD, all who do not want to be BALD, all
who are troubled with DANDRUFF. or
ITCHING OF the scalI, should use Benton's

from falling. Through sickness and fevers
the hair sometimes falls off in a short time. and
although the person may have remained bald
for wears, If YOU use Benton's Hair Grower ac-
cording 10 directions YOU are sure OF growth
of hair. In hundreds of cases we have pro-
duced good growth OF Hair on those who
have been bald and glazed for years; we have
fully substantiated the following facts:
We grow Hair in 50 cases out of 100, no mat
ter how lonc bald.
Unlike other preparations, it contains no sugar
of lead or vegetable or mineral poisons.
1t is specific for falling hair, dandruff, aud
itching of the scalp.
The Hair Grower is Il hair food and its COM
position is almost exactly like the oil which
supplies the hair with its vitality.
DOUBLE AND TRIPLE STRENGTH,
When the skin is very tough and hard, and
the foli, lie is apparently effectually closed the
single strength will sometimes fail to reach
the parpilla; in such cases the double or triple
strength should be used in connection with the
single, using them alternately.
Price, Single strength S1.00; Double strength
$3.50; Triple strength, $500. IL your drug
gists have not got it we will send it prepaid on
receipt of price.

some time ago my son was taken sick with
Il serious lung difficulty, which threatened To
end in quick CONSUMPTION We summoned
our family physician, who attended him faith
fully for four weeks during which time he
gradually grew weaker. Becoming very much
alarmed about himself, and being satisfied that
he was growing worse all the time, he finally
refused TO take any more medicine from the
physician, ana expressed wish to try John
sons Anodyne Liniment. | Immediately told
the ply stefan, expecting that he would object
to his using it; but he did not. He said 'let
him try it !; it won't hurt him, and may do him
some good He did try it, and continued to
use it some time, taking it inwardly and bath
ing the chest and lungs outwardly. Very soon
he began to improve, gradually gaining
strength. until at last we had the satisfaction
of knowing that the foundation OF his disease
was broken up. My son is alive and well to-
day, possessing a strong and vigorous consti-
tuition. which we attribute, under God to the
use of Johnsons Anodyne Liniment can
further say that never allow myself to get
out of the article; and that in my judgment,
it is the best family medicine in the world.

But this would not be true, or rather,
would be misleading. as a portion of the
assets may not be realized upon, though
S20, 1864 is ugcollected taxes, and 81
443.OS is in tax deeds. many of which will
be paid and this leads Us TO the considera-
ton of taxation and the collection of tax
es in our city.
For years the custom has been to relieve
the treasury by borrowing rather than by
enforcing the collection of taxes.
This is not only wrong but is quite as
unjust to those who pay their taxes
promptly as would be an unequal or unjust
assessment. Some action should be taken
to encourage the collector in an effort to
break up this system and at the same time
insist that the taxes of non-residents at
least should be collected by suit and levy,
rather than to continue longer the custom
of piling up tax deeds in the treasury.
Our people have become so much ac-
customed to putting off the payment of
taxes for one or more years, that we are
inclined to regard the collector as an enemy
who will insist upon prompt payment
thereof. Like some laws upon the stat
utes, the public sentiment will not allow
an enforcement. This sentiment should
be changed, if we are to hope to further
WATER.
The question of whether the city should
contract with some company for supply
of water for fire purposes was submitted
to the people on the 10th day of last
June, with the following result total vote,
598 Those voting yes, 356, no, 242, ma
jority in favor, IA. Only one proposition
was recorded by the City Government, and
that from the Ellsworth Water Company
which was in substance to furnish the
necessary hydrants and to public buildings
for the sum of two thousand dollars per
annum. Though committees of the Board
of Aldermen, with the Mayor, visited sew
eral cities in Maine where they have q
water system, or are contemplating put
ting in works, they failed to find out
from the brief investigation whether OF
not the proposition made was favorable
one and although realizing that there is a
great danger of wooden city like ours
meeting with the fate of Eastport OF
Pennington and that the water supply OF
fire service is inadequate for such an emer-
gency. still they did not feel satisfied in
binding the city for 20 years by contract
which in substance meant an increase Oh
the interest bearing debt of S50,0OO
The question may come before you fol

man in whose ability and honesty you may
